I watched the 1987 playoff loss to the Browns and if you put a gun to my head and asked me to name all of the Jet players who late hit Kosar on the infamous game-changing play, I would look at you like you were nuts and say Mark Roided-up motherfucking Gastineau late hit Kosar all by himself.

Still not completely over that loss - mud bowl, Doug Brien’s missed FG, loss in Pittsburgh after beating pats are also up there for me. A ball bounces or call goes our way and this cursed franchise coulda been all time. Mayb in an alternate universe.

Wow. Didnt catch that the first time around. Though...Mark seemed to be in a much better position to see the throw was already made as he had forever to run un-impeded towards Kosar, whereas Howard seemed to burst from the scrum and his "release point" was much closer to Kosar, giving him less time to process that the hit would be obviously late. Thanks for the memories, though!

We did. I left to take my girlfriend back to school about two hours away in NC. I left because we had locked it up. An hour into the trip I picked up a shitty am station and got the score. I start freaking out and I'm thinking they fucked it up. No ESPN, no sports talk radio. Had to wait til I got her home to find out what happened.

I never demonized Gastineau because of that play.Even if we would have won that game there was no way we were beating the Broncos the following week.The season was lost a long time prior due to the amount of injuries that begot that team. F'sakes we were 10-1 then fell off the map.

I watched the game on YouTube from the fourth quarter on. Carl Howard was total garbage. They probably blitzed him because he was worthless in coverage. He was beat like a Yazidi at an ISIS wedding. i.e. badly. And when he wasn't giving up big plays, he was committing penalties.

And I forgot how terrible Joe Walton was. Every time he was on camera I puked a little in my mouth.
